which was formerly of considerable height i but had been gradually plowed down : i that several mounds in the neighborhood i had been excavated and nothing of iu j terest found in them i asked permis ' sion to examine this mound which was i granted and upon investigation the fol lowing facts were reveal : upon reaching the place i sharpened a stick four or five feet iu length and ran it down in the earth at several places and tin ally struck a rock about eighteen inches below the surface which on digging down was found to be smooth on top ly ing horizontally upon solid earth about 18 inches above the bottom of the grave 18 inches length and 16 inches iu width and from two to three inches iu thickness with the corners rounded not finding anything under this rock i '' then made an excavation iu the south of ! the grave and soon struck another rock j which upon examination proved to be in i front of the remains of a human skeleton | in a sitting posture the bones of the lingers of the right hand were resting on this rock and on the rock near the hand j was a small stone about five inches long resem hi ing i tomahawk oi indian hatch et upon a further examination many of i the bones were found though in a very decomposed condition and upon expos ure to the air ftoou crumbled to pieces â€” the heads of the bones a considerable portion of the skull maxillary bones teeth neck bones and the vertebra were in their proper places though the weight of the earth above them had driven them j down yet the entire frame was so perfect | that it was an easy matter to trace all ! the bones the bones of the cranium were slightly inclined toward the east around â€¢ the neck were found course beads that j seemed to be of some hard substance j resembled chalk a small lump of red ! paint about the size of an egg was found i near the right side of this skeleton the | sutures of the cranium indicated the sub 1 ject to have been twenty-live or twenty i eight years of age and its top rested ! about twelve inches below the mark of j the plow i made a further excavation toward the i west of this grave and found another skeleton similar to the tirst in a silting posture facing the east a lock was on j the right on which the bones of the right hand were resting and on this rock was a toinakawlc which had been about seven i inches long but was broken into two j pieces and was much better finished than the first beads were also found around â€¢ the neck of this one but much smaller and i of finer quality than those on the neck of the first the material however seems to be the same a much larger amount of paint was found by the side of this t han the first the bones indicated a person of large frame who i think was about fifty years of age everything abont about this one had the appearance of su periority over the tirst the top of the skull was about six inches below the mark of the plow i continued the examination and after diligent search found nothing at the i north side of the grave but on reaching | the east found another skeleton iu the â– same posture as the others lacing the ! west on the right side of this was a rock on which the bones of the right hand were resting and on the rock was also a | tomahawk which had been about eight j inches in length but was broken into ! three pieces and was composed of much better material and better finish than the others beads wen also found on the neck of this but much smaller and finer than those of the others a larger amount of paint than both of the others was found near this one the top of the cranium had been ino.ed by the plow â€” the bones indicate a person of forty years of age there was no appearance of hair dis ' covered besides the smaller bones were almost entirely decomposed and would | crumble when taken from their bed in i the earth these two circumstances j con | led with the fact that the farm on ' which this grave was found was the first settlement in that part of the country the date of the lirst deed made from lord i granville to john perkins running back !

which was formerly of considerable height i but had been gradually plowed down : i that several mounds in the neighborhood i had been excavated and nothing of iu j terest found in them i asked permis ' sion to examine this mound which was i granted and upon investigation the fol lowing facts were reveal : upon reaching the place i sharpened a stick four or five feet iu length and ran it down in the earth at several places and tin ally struck a rock about eighteen inches below the surface which on digging down was found to be smooth on top ly ing horizontally upon solid earth about 18 inches above the bottom of the grave 18 inches length and 16 inches iu width and from two to three inches iu thickness with the corners rounded not finding anything under this rock i '' then made an excavation iu the south of ! the grave and soon struck another rock j which upon examination proved to be in i front of the remains of a human skeleton | in a sitting posture the bones of the lingers of the right hand were resting on this rock and on the rock near the hand j was a small stone about five inches long resem hi ing i tomahawk oi indian hatch et upon a further examination many of i the bones were found though in a very decomposed condition and upon expos ure to the air ftoou crumbled to pieces â€” the heads of the bones a considerable portion of the skull maxillary bones teeth neck bones and the vertebra were in their proper places though the weight of the earth above them had driven them j down yet the entire frame was so perfect | that it was an easy matter to trace all ! the bones the bones of the cranium were slightly inclined toward the east around â€¢ the neck were found course beads that j seemed to be of some hard substance j resembled chalk a small lump of red ! paint about the size of an egg was found i near the right side of this skeleton the | sutures of the cranium indicated the sub 1 ject to have been twenty-live or twenty i eight years of age and its top rested ! about twelve inches below the mark of j the plow i made a further excavation toward the i west of this grave and found another skeleton similar to the tirst in a silting posture facing the east a lock was on j the right on which the bones of the right hand were resting and on this rock was a toinakawlc which had been about seven i inches long but was broken into two j pieces and was much better finished than the first beads were also found around â€¢ the neck of this one but much smaller and i of finer quality than those on the neck of the first the material however seems to be the same a much larger amount of paint was found by the side of this t han the first the bones indicated a person of large frame who i think was about fifty years of age everything abont about this one had the appearance of su periority over the tirst the top of the skull was about six inches below the mark of the plow i continued the examination and after diligent search found nothing at the i north side of the grave but on reaching | the east found another skeleton iu the â– same posture as the others lacing the ! west on the right side of this was a rock on which the bones of the right hand were resting and on the rock was also a | tomahawk which had been about eight j inches in length but was broken into ! three pieces and was composed of much better material and better finish than the others beads wen also found on the neck of this but much smaller and finer than those of the others a larger amount of paint than both of the others was found near this one the top of the cranium had been ino.ed by the plow â€” the bones indicate a person of forty years of age there was no appearance of hair dis ' covered besides the smaller bones were almost entirely decomposed and would | crumble when taken from their bed in i the earth these two circumstances j con | led with the fact that the farm on ' which this grave was found was the first settlement in that part of the country the date of the lirst deed made from lord i granville to john perkins running back !
